I am so happy for Brother Wurster.
I need to figure out what time you all get out of church on Sunday. It will make it a whole lot easier to set up being able to talk to everyone on Mother's Day. Also, I was wondering, if you were going to try to get other people to be able to be present. Hopefully you are on when I send this message and we can figure all of that out.
It's super cool to hear that seminary is finally over. I remember the early mornings and I didn't like them very much. But the fact that I was going to seminary made everything easier. This means that Zach has already finished his first year of seminary, and will be in his second year when I get home.
To answer your first question, I am doing very well. I have been having an amazing time being able to be here on a mission. I have particularly enjoyed being able to be a part time service elder. Being able to do all of the service projects that have come up throughout the mission has been awesome.
I hope that you have all been doing well. I love you all!
I will definitely see about giving your phone number to our host family so that you can talk with them, and I will probably give your phone number to them.
As far as the time to start the hangout, they are gonna have us for lunch beforehand, and wanted us to come over at one, so they might want to talk with us and get to know us a little better before we start the hangout session. Anytime around 1:30-2:00 would be a great time for us to start. Church for us is 9:00-12:00.
Also, if you can tell Sean I said Congrats on the mission and hope to see him after I get back, that would be awesome!

I was So Happy to be able to see everyone. I am sad that Gabe wasn't able to be a part of any of it. I haven't heard from him in so long...
Anyway, I really enjoyed being able to talk with everyone and hear how everyone has been doing. Alexander looks like he is doing very well. Brinya looks like she is doing wonderful. I was so happy to be able to see her smiling and being so happy and energetic. It was great to see everyone else too.
Tell Sammi I said hi, and that I hope she was able to have a wonderful Mothers Day!
I love you all and hope that you will all be able to have a wonderful week. Also, Thank you for the Pictures!
Love,
Elder Jastal.

It sounds like things are going well at home still. It certainly does feel like it has been forever since Mother's Day, even though it has only been 8 days.
I have always loved Elder Bednar's talks, so I think it is awesome that you were able to teach a lesson using one of (Ask in Faith) his talks. I will definitely find time to go print those (I had also mentioned Pray Always to Elder Jastal) talks off and look through them.
I am still companions with Elder Chapman and we both moved to a new ward up in the Mission Viejo Stake. It has been going fairly well, the only setback we have seen is that I caught a cold, the night we got into the area and then Elder Chapman caught it from me a couple days ago. I am getting over it though, and outside of a bit of a cough, I am now doing great. We are still both part time service elders so will still be doing different service projects around the mission. I am happy about that because I love being able to help out with the projects that we have been doing.
I hope that you all have a wonderful week. I e-mailed gabe today and I hope that he will e-mail me back by next week. If not, then I will just keep e-mailing him until he does. I hope to be able to hear that he is doing well.
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Jastal
MY Memorial day was awesome! I couldn't hardly find parking in our apartment complex for the most part, but luckily we did find a parking spot so that we could lessen the distance to our apartment. Other than that, We had a P-day activity and had a lot of fun. The biggest problem was that all of the Libraries were Closed! WE couldn't find any other place to try and e-mail so we have permission to do that today.
The vehicle and cell phone coordinator is in charge of making sure that everyone is legal and able to drive, and he was the one that talked to me in the first place about you trying to help me make sure that my license gets renewed. I will be waiting to hear about the packet coming in. I will also be in contact with the Mission Office Staff so that I can be sure to get the Eye Examination as well. Thank you! I love you Mom!
